Anthony Martial handed piece of advice to become Premier League’s best

Manchester United player Anthony Martial has scored four goals in his last four games and yet he is suffering from a lack of confidence. Nemanja Matic has told Martial to start believing that he is one of the best players in the Premier League. United  boss Jose Mourinho has often left him on the bench and that could be the real reason for his lack of confidence. But Matic believes it is time that Martial stepped forward and became one of United’s main men. Matic said: “Anthony is a great player and he needs to understand that. He needs more confidence. He is still young and I think if he continues to score in the next games he will get that. “If he reaches his top level he can be one of the best players in the league for sure. Sometimes I don’t think he understands how good he is. “Sometimes he is quick, he is good with the ball, he can run. He has everything that a Manchester United football player needs. Sometimes I don’t think he understands that. “If I had his ability with the ball and I was as quick as him then I wouldn’t pass to anyone and I would score every game! “To be serious, he does need more confidence and this comes with results. When you don’t have results it is very difficult for players to have that high confidence. If we can get results over the next few games and improve as a team he will show that he is very important for us. “He is a great player,” said Matic. “He has scored a lot of goals for United so I don’t see any problems for him. He’s a great guy who works hard and works for the team. "Sometimes he doesn’t get the goals but he is still working for us. He will start to score again soon. I believe that.” United are trying to tie down the £58million star to a new contract as his current deal expires next summer.
